    Romeo and I are very close, but I feel he should not be the man to marry Juliet. Paris is the right man for her. If Romeo were to marry Juliet the Montague and Capulet families would be connected. I hate the Capulet's a lot and I am sure that if they were together they would cause more drama between the families. Romeo can find a better girl. The wedding moving up is better for me. If it was later I could not attend because I have obligations with being a soldier.

    I think Romeo would be a better husband because he cares about juliet more than paris does. It wouldnt be good because the montagues and the capulets would be in even a bigger war. This date change affected me because now juliet is dead and the wedding was changed into a funeral.

  3. I personally think that Romeo would make a better husband because he has a lot of respect for Juliet. He really cares about her and will do anything to be with her. I dont think that Paris will be a good husband because he really hasnt got to know Juliet as well as Romeo. Paris was also chosen by Juliets father to marry her and that isnt right. the date change hasnt really affected me because i was getting off work early. I told my boss that the wedding was important and I wanted to see it for myself.

    Is that even a question? Obviously Romeo would make the better husband. He is so deep and loving. He would definitely be the better husband. Romeo is sweet and kind; he is a total hopeless romantic. Girls hope to find guys like him because is sensitive and loves with his whole entire heart. Paris is just interested in the money that comes out of the marriage, not the love. What is a wedding without love? Nothing, a wedding without love is nothing. There is no point in a marriage without love because for the rest of your life you will be unhappy and no one wants that. I’m not really involved in this wedding; we in the Montague household don’t really associate with the Capulets. This wedding made me happy though, it clears up the rumors that Juliet and Romeo were secretly in love. She can’t be marrying two people…right?

    I know both men very well and I know for a fact that Romeo would make a ten times better husband than Paris, especially because Romeo is the type of guy that is so soft and emotional, that no matter what the situation is, he will take care of Juliet and do his best to keep her happy. Also because a good husband can be the result of a good wife and Juliet loves Romeo so since they love each other, they will always be nice to each other and maintain a constant level of happiness. Paris would not make a better husband because Juliet doesnt love him and they are being married by force, not by choice. The date change of the wedding has massively effected me and my family because we were all supposed to attend the wedding but now we cant because we have a party to attend in which i am cooking.

  6. Sienna O'Rourke Being the towns tailor and having seen people from both families come in an out of my shop, i personally think Romeo would be a better husband for young Juliet. Paris seems like he only cares about himself and getting Juliets money, which I get most people marry now a day for money but after having witnessed what the two young lovers have gone through, i feel they are almost meant to be Id imagine how hard it would be for Juliet to say goodbye to a person who she shares so many memories with it would be so hard for her to let go of a person like that. I do realize Romeo is of the rival family but hes so sweet and nice and they been through so much I almost feel that what they been through nobody will be able to relate too. What they have is unique its irreplaceable

    Everyone in Verona knows that Lady and Lord Capulet have dibs on Paris to be their beloved daughters husband. I have met Paris on many occasions and in my opinion, he is a charming, polite, respectful gentlemen. Paris makes the perfect baturlette for a young women like Juliet. I think Paris is the best option for Juliet. Others may choice Romeo due to his charm, but we all know there is nothing more to him then looks. All Montague's are pure evil and never would do anything nice to a Capulet such as marrying one. If Romeo ever did marry Juliet, there would probably be a scheme to harm the Capulets knowing the Montague's, there never up to any good. Being Lady Capulets best friend and being like family to Juliet, the wedding is a very special, important day to my family as well. I already knew Paris was going to be the one Juliet calls a husband because everyday Lady Capulet talks about how perfect they are for each other and how Paris needs to set one of his friends up with my daughter! When i found out the wedding was being moved to a closer date, I was thrilled! All though rushing getting our bridesmaids dress for my daughter and my dress , its stressful! I know moving it to this time will be great for Juliet so she stops mourning about her cousins death. The timing couldn't have been more perfect!

  8. Antonella Dalfonso Period 6- I think Romeo would make a better husband because, I know him alot better then, I know Paris. Paris barely knows Juliet so I have no clue why he would want to marry her. She is much younger then he is. Romeo however, looks as though he has a lot in common with Juliet, besides them falling in love with eachother at first sight..... I was scheduled to perform for the Capulet wedding, with a few friends, but then we heard the news of the date change, so my friends could not do it with me, so I found I will be playing for the Capulet wedding. Then i remebered some other friends. I then talked them into playing with me. I think the date change did put some stress on me and others; not to mention the bride Juliet. I do feeel bad for that girl. I know she does not to marry this young, and especially to Paris. I do hope the best for her.

    I know Paris and Romeo very well. Paris is a very handsome and sweet man. I don't get to see and talk to him a lot. Romeo is handsome as well, but, more romantic and caring. I see Romeo everyday and talk to him and help him out. I think that Romeo would make a better husband rather than Paris. I have known him for a while now and I know his personality. He would be caring and loving. He would be loyal and respectful to his wife. I work for the Montagues so I am not much involved with the wedding of Juliet and Paris. The date change has not really affected me. I am very confused because I know that Juliet and Romeo are already married each other so I don't know if Juliet will marry Paris.

  10. Isabella Stevens.Period 4- I know both of the two young men very well, however, i believe Romeo is the one for Juliet. From the beginning, when they both laid eyes on each other, they knew their love for one another was strong. Learning more about each other over the hours, their love became stronger and they knew it was real and true. Juliet does not see Paris like she sees Romeo. Romeo clearly makes Juliet happier, which means she should stay with Romeo because being close with Juliet, i trust her decisions strongly. Being part of the wedding affected me because it was that Thursday and i was the bridesmaide because of the close relationship of Juliet and i. I worked very hard to set up the wedding and hearing about the death of my own beloved sister was heartbreaking.

    Romeo and I are very close, but I really dont believe he is the right man for Juliet. Romeo is a great guy dont get me wrong, I think he's very loving and caring. But He falls in love way to quickly, and I cant believe him on which he really loves juliet. The capulets have obviosly chosen paris for a reason. Nobody knows there own kid better then there parents do. The wedding date hasnt really effected me. But it has put a damper on my day because its on a thursday and thats the day I like to relax.

    Paris often do come into my shop, but of course Romeo has not, after all, he is a Montague. But from what has gone about in my shop, he seems to be a very nice, well-manered young gentleman. Paris, on the other hand, is too a well-manered gentleman, making them both lucky men. Poor Juliet , though, having to make a truly tough descision on who to marry. Tough for me, at least. But, for the sake of the Capulet family, I would have chosen Paris. No Capulet would ever want a Montague in the family, all except Juliet. Paris is a nice boy who is kind in all ways, and always gives his best for Juliet and her family. The wedding they plan to have was just recently moved up to this coming thursday. I originally made plans to take a break from work to endure in the ceremony, but now I have to move that date as well. Now that there is not much time left, every single person within the Capulet house has bombarded my shop, looking for their hair to be in tip-top shape for the wedding. I truly do have my hands full, and am seeking help from any of my friends, including my eldest son. At this rate the money is doing fine, but the work load is inflating rapidly. I do not know how much longer I can take this for... But at least I still have time to blog.

    I know Paris very well only because he is the one who has been more involved with the Capulet family. I've heard stories about Romeo but never really got the chance to meet him. Judging from him and Juliet's intimate relationship, I would have to say that Romeo would make a better husband. Unlike Paris, he shows his love and compassion towards Juliet in various ways that makes her fall more in love with him every time they're together. Paris is a very fine gentleman but unlike Paris, Romeo wasn't being forced upon Juliet. Romeo and Juliet fell in love at first sight, proving their bond together is strong and pure. Since I work for the Capulet family, I have been very involved with the wedding, especially because I'm the one who is creating Juliet's wedding dress. Unfortunately for me, Lord Capulet made the wedding earlier than it was originally supposed to be which really effected me and how I have to manage my time sewing Juliet's dress. I don't want to rush myself because I want the dress to be perfect so that when she walks down the aisle, she'll look stunning and be the center of attention. In this case though, I'm being forced to spend all day and night working on the dress and making sure that it's ready for the wedding. I'm almost finished with it, all I have to do is so the finishing touches on so I'm not too worried.

    I know of both Romeo and paris and I had always thought that Romeo would seem to be a good husband for a woman. He is a nice gentleman and I have heard he is deeply in love with Juliet Capulet. This shocks me since the families have hated one another for a very long time. I think that he would be a better husband for Juliet than Paris because his love for juliet is very strong and it is evident that he will do almost anything to keep her happy and safe. I have not seen Paris do anything for Juliet like Romeo has done. I am involved in the wedding because I help bring food on the back of my cart pulled by my Mules. This change of dates has affected me greatly because now all the fresh food that i already had gathered is going to spoil and go bad.

    Romeo I do believe is a better husband then Paris. Although Romeo seems to switch between females he has interest in he is romantic and rich, Paris is also wealthy yet he does not love with his heart, when Juliet died on his wedding day he did not seem to be that sad about it. As a good friend of the nurse and being the social butterfly I am I was of course invited to the wedding. The date change impacted me because I now have to take a day off from work and I must buy dress clothes sooner for the wedding.

    I have known Paris for a while because his family has always been close to the Capulet family. On the other hand Romeo, I know because he is an Montague, he is the enemy. Even though I was raised to hate Romeo's kind, I feel that he would make a better husband for my cousin. From what she's told me about him, he is genuine and he is really in love with her. That being said he will probably take better care of her. Also, Juliet is madly in love with him so I want to see her happy. Paris, is a respectable man as well, but he cannot possibly be in love with her because he's wanted to marry her before he's even know her. Also he could just want to marry her for the money he will get which means he will not be the best husband for Juliet. The moving up of Paris and Juliet's wedding has affected me and my family. This is because everyone is still grieving over the death of Tybalt. Now everyone in scrambling to try to get ready for the wedding in time. It is hard for people to be happy and excited for the wedding when they are in such a dark place.

    I am not very involved with the Capulets and I usually mind my business, however when I heard that Juliet was in love with Romeo I had to hear more. Juliet has always seemed like a sweet, kind girl, very obedient and listens to her parents. But now she is standing up for what she believes in. She wants to marry Romeo, not Paris. I believe that Paris will be the better husband. Even though she does not like him now, she will live a more simplistic life if she chooses Paris. With Romeo, there is way too much conflict between the Montagues and Capulets, to even risk their marriage. I had an arranged marriage and life for me is perfect, I have four beautiful children with my amazing husband, Nario.

    I just found out about the wedding date change and I am furious, I cannot believe it was changed. I have to clean the venue and help set up. I was not prepared for it to be this early. I was supposed to work at my customer’s house on Thursday but because of the new wedding day I had to cancel, she was extremely mad and probably will not hire me again. I cannot believe this! I have four children and five siblings to support, but I have to work this wedding, hopefully I will get a good pay.

    I think the better husband for Juliet would be romeo because he is more respectful and kind to her and truly cares for her meanwhile Paris i feel is only in it for the money and doesn't care about true feelings. Also i know Capulet likes romeo and knows he is a good kid but after he killed Tybalt I'm not sure.

    I am very upset about the date change because i was going to have the ring ready by that time so i made other appointment's after but now since it has been pushed back i have to tell all my customers that their merchandise will be finished later then expected.

    Maria:
    I do not know Romeo or Paris very well, but from what I have heard from my friends in town, I think that Romeo would be a better husband. Many people have said that he is a gentleman, and after hearing about his relationship with Juliet, I agree that he would make a good husband because he is genuinely in love with her, unlike Paris, who barely even knows her. I think that Paris' will to marry Juliet comes just from his own ambition of the Capulet fortune, but that's just my opinion.

    Now that Lord Capulet has made the date of the wedding earlier, it has made preparations for the wedding much more stressful. Everyone has to rush in order to get everything finished on time. I think that he should have just kept it at the date that they had originally planned for.

  20. Paula Zuccarelli (period 6):

    I personally think that Romeo would make a better husband than Paris, even though I do not know Paris as well. Romeo is a fine gentleman, and loves Juliet for who she is. Paris is arranged to marry Juliet by the Capulets because they think he will be a good husband for their daughter and trust him with their fortune since women do not own anything. Romeo fell in love with Juliet instantly, when he first saw her, and has remained true to her since. He killed Tybalt in revenge over the death of his dear friend, Mercutio, and that is honorable.

    Juliet and Paris’s wedding has been moved up and it has been happening too fast. I have to bake more fresh bread, and pies for the wedding ceremony and quickly. Since I have to spend all of my time focusing on this wedding, I do not have time to be with my husband. The change has brought in the money I am making a lot faster, which is good for my family and business.

    I do not know Paris very well, but I'm confident that most men would make a better husband than Romeo. Romeo is too unstable in every way. His emotions are unpredictable and he's far too impulsive. One never knows what his next action will be! If the Capulets are considering Paris as Juliet's husband, then I'm sure he's a fine man.


    Moving up the wedding has no direct impact on me, but my lord and lady are grieving over the exile of their Romeo, so I must continue tending to their needs. It's amusing to see the servants in the Capulet household bustling about. I almost pity them.

    Valentina Lopez-

    I don't really to involve myself with the Capulets much but a lot of people had been saying that Juliet is in love with Romeo. Therefore in my opinion Romeo would make a better husband because he actually loves her back, unlike paris. I think Paris only wants to marry Juliet for her money because he requested to marry her, even before he had met her. Apart from being a money maker, i also am in charge of arranging flowers for event such as Juliet and paris's wedding, some funerals, and occasional birthdays. I think this wedding is being rushed way too quick and not given enough time to be perfect. I won't have enough time to arrange the perfect set of flowers and able to organize them during the wedding day, this is going to be a disaster.

    I am friends with both Paris and Romeo, they are both nice gentlemen that are wealthy. Romeo is very emotional and listens to his heart and doesn't think before he do which isn't necessarily bad, he knows what he wants and he goes for it. Paris is older then Romeo of course, but he is also a very well mannered passionate man. I think personally that Romeo would make a better husband in some ways because his feelings are so deep and true and real for Juliet that he goes crazy without her, Paris doesn't have the same feelings that Romeo does but Paris is more mature then Romeo which is a very fine quaility to have but Romeo is capable as well as Paris to be Juliets wife.
    Considering I was suppose to bake Juliets wedding cake for Paris I was all excited and it was almost done and now she is dead!!!! This isn't very good for my business since I just lost a profit but everything happens for a reason, I will not be selfish and get frustrated over the fact that I am not being paid.

    I believe that both of the young boys are true gentlemen and that they both respect Juliet. However, Romeo is an unstable character. He is a fickle young person who becomes intensely passionate on certain emotions and then the next day will be completely different. It is this strong swing in mood that could lead him into hasty decisions. I know Paris to be a noble young man who would hopefully not be cruel to Juliet. Ultimately that decision should belong to Juliet and it is her opinion that she will choose, not mine.

    The wedding will be a great day for everyone. The noble Paris will officially join the Capulet family and Juliet will be a happy bride. Lord and Lady Capulet will have a successful heir to their riches and the world will be a better place. Even though this marriage does not directly affect me, I wish them a happy new life. I just hope for the best of the new couple and that no ill-fate befalls them. It would be a real tragedy if anything bad were to happen to them

    After hearing the shocking news that Romeo MONTAGUE and Juliet were secretly married by no one other than Friar Lawrence himself, I could not help but be outraged by this secret affair. When I heard of the proper marriage between Juliet and Paris, my gut instinct told me that Paris was the right man for Juliet. As I pondered it more though, I realized that Juliet did what made her happy and that is something unheard of in society, so I have decided Romeo would actually be a better fit to Juliet in the end. I even know both of the men, and Paris is very arrogant and conceited when he is around others, making him look bad in the publics eye. Lord Capulet apparently sees a good match in him for Juliet because I heard he was very quick to decide the marriage, he planned it two days before! Also, I have seen Romeo around the town square when he is alone and he always seems to be deep in thought and he always looks like he feels bad for those less fortunate than him when he passes by. Even though Juliet is nowhere near less fortunate, these emotions must carry over in to their relationship if they only met two days before they were married. The most bothersome part of this whole wedding is making a new wedding dress for Juliet in two days! Its hard to make a wedding dress over the course of the week but I only have two days! I have not even been able to return to my cottage so Ive had to work through the night with barely any sleep! Even though I did not know of Romeos affair with Juliet until after I started making the dress, I am not sure that the Capulets know and I am certainly not going to be the one to tell them. I only wish Juliet the best in her future with less tragedy at such a young age!

    If we are disregarding feelings, I feel like Paris would be a much better husband for Juliet. Neither of them really know much about Juliet. Romeo tends to get very emotional at times. He is either at one extreme or the other. There is no middle ground with him and I feel like this is not a good quality for a husband. For example, a few days ago he was mourning over Rosaline. She was the one person he couldn't live without. Then he sees Juliet one time and is so infatuated by her that he forgets Rosaline just like that and moves onto her. Lastly, he gets so upset over Mercutio he goes off the wall, kills Tybalt, and gets himself banished. Paris seems like a well educated man who is very grounded. However, knowing the feelings Juliet has for Romeo, and the feelings she doesn't have for Paris, I would say Romeo is better suited for her. The wedding moving up for me is good because I will have a flood of business in a time where I am in desperate need of some money.

    I think that Romeo is the right man for Juliet. I say this because not only does he care for her, but Paris isn't marring her because he likes her. Another thing to add is that if the Montagues and Capulets were able to set aside there diffrences and be nice to one another, my Fathers bank would benifit greatly due to the fact the he manages the Montagues assets. The date change has not affected me at all but I am confused on why Juliet is marring Paris. I thought she was with Romeo, but since he has been banished I guess that Paris is the one for her.

    I think Romeo would make a better husband because he is loving and caring. He really loves Juliet and would do anything for her. Romeo and Juliet are truly in love and show real love. Paris and Juliet would show a marriage by force and they will have an unhealthy relationship because they really won't like each other. Romeo and Juliet and deeply in love and get along with each other very well. I dob't know the families personally, but I think Romeo and Juliet would make great couple and may be able to stop the family feud's. I think they can change their parents belief's and end all of these fights and pointless deaths.

    The moving of the wedding affects me because now I have to take a day off from work, that I did not plan to, so I can buy clothes earlier for the wedding. Otherwise the moving up of the wedding doesn't affect me because I don't know the families personally.

    I know Romeo and Paris personally, Paris was a friend of my family ever since we were young, and I know of Romeo because he always wanders the streets and he is the son of the wealthy Montague's. I personally believe that Juliet's situation is fairly difficult. Despite the conflicts of wanting to marry Romeo, he truly will make a better husband. This is because Romeo truly loves Juliet and would do anything for her, caring for her and doing anything she needed or wanted. Although Paris is probably better for her for her potential success in the future, Romeo is also wealthy. He will truly be there for Juliet and treat her like a princess and he will be a great and truthful husband who really loves her. Unfortunately, I had a feeling that Juliet was going to be forced to marry Paris, and I was hit with complete stress when I heard the wedding was this upcoming Thursday. Lady Capulet immediately messaged me and gave me the order to sew Juliet's wedding dress as well as her own and the nurses. This has put a lot of stress on me, since I have to design three beautiful gowns in the matter of two days. Iv'e been up all night hemming and sewing, pushing aside my daily work of others to sew for the Capulets. I know its worth it though, only because I'm getting paid big amounts of money which will eventually help me. I'm not completely thrilled either with the fact that Lady Capulet thinks she can just throw all this work on me, besides I have other people's dresses and gowns to sew as well.

    I know both Romeo and Paris personally. Romeo, being because he is one of my dearest friends. Paris because he and I are neighbors. I feel that Romeo would be a better husband than Paris for a number of reasons. The first reason is that Romeo and Juliet's love shows no boundaries, Romeo's actions and love is in par with Juliet's. The second reason is obvious and is that they are both already married. However considering the recent circumstances (deaths and banishment) it would appear as if maybe Paris is the best bet. Not to mention Their is no feud between Paris and the Capulets. In conclusion marriage should be romantic, and love based rather than social and economically based (even though economics and society can be crucial to a healthy relationship), therefore Romeo would be the better husband,

    The wedding plans moving up doesn't really impact me. In fact I'm kind of relieved because I recently purchased a wedding-like attire, and I would prefer if we get this event out of the way. The only negative aspect is that I wanted to purchase pastries and cakes from "Domenico's Bakery" but I don't know if I'll be able to.

    I know Romeo, and I know that he is an amazing person who loves hard, and amplifies all of his emotions. I do not know Paris other than the man who is set to be married to Juliet tomorrow. I believe that Romeo is the right person for Juliet, rather Paris, considering Juliet has only met Paris once. Although Romeo and Juliet's love seems a bit rushed or fast, but at least it is real and that they actually love each other, let alone know each other, whereas Juliet doesn't even know Paris. I also do not know Paris or his intentions considering Juliet is rich, and Paris may be using her to gain her inheritance. The Montague's are also a very wealthy family along with the Capulet's therefore, Romeo has no incentive to marry Juliet for her money, only for the person that she is.

    The wedding plans moving up doesn't truly affect me, although I do sense weirdness or tension in that I know how passionate Juliet is about Romeo, therefore I know that something is up where she wouldn't just blindly concede to the wedding plans being moved up. I am also getting a little bit anxious because I have a strong feeling that Juliet and Friar are devising a plan to prevent herself from getting married and helping Friar get out of the problem of marrying Juliet twice. I realized Romeo and Juliet had been married while overhearing conversations between Juliet and the Nurse, and as seeing Romeo climbing Juliet's balcony up into her room.

  33. Michelle Aguirre (per.3)- “Alonso Aguirre”: I know Romeo and Paris pretty well. Not so much personally as I know them from what people say, but enough understandment of each to clearly see who is better for Juliet. Although Paris is a very wealthy man who seems responsible and proper, Romeo is just the mad Juliet is in love with. No matter who he is, he has conquered Juliet’s love and nothing can change that. If they love eachother then there’s nothing else to do but marry eachother. Paris has never done anything to impress Juliet which shows he doesn’t even care of her which could never be a good thing. I was asked to help at the wedding to move around things like tables and chairs and set up everything since I am known for being a strong man. My schedule is always tight and precise, so this date change has greatly affected me. I had my soldier training camp that day, but now I have to find a better excuse to get out of it, since the wedding was just a side job I accepted since the extra money was something I needed.

    Who would be better to marry Juliet? Hmmm well between Romeo and Paris I’d have to choice Paris. He is a well put to gather man with a good heart and plenty of money; Paris would make it so Juliet would be able to relax for the rest of her life. While if Juliet married Romeo it would only cause more problems between the families on who would get Juliet’s wealth and many other things.
    Yea I’m helping with the wedding I have to make the challises for the wedding the ones the bride and groom have to drink from during the big ceremony. Unfortunately I won’t be able to do all the fancy designs on the cup that I wanted to put but that’s what happeneds when you move up the wedding so soon without telling anyone.

    In my opinion I feel that Paris would be a better husband for Juliet. Even though I work for the Montague's and care about Romeo I just feel that their marriage would never work out. The feud between the Capulet's and the Montague's would never allow them to have a normal marriage. Paris would make for a better husband because he is a well rounded guy, and would always try to make Juliet happy. Not to mention the fact that his parents are not mortal enemies with Juliet's parents.
    This new date of the wedding has effected me because prior to the date change my family and I wouldn't have been able to attend, however now we are.

    I feel that Paris would make an amazing husband for Juliet. Even though Romeo and Juliet care deeply for each other and love each other, they're star crossed lovers and it would never work out in between the feuding families. I could never even imagine if they ever got married! The Montague Family and the Capulet Family would be screaming at each other over every little detail, how they won't share their fortunes with each other, it would be a miserable marriage that would end very shortly I could not even imagine being in that position! I feel that Lord Capulet would be very happy to share is wealth with Paris and Juliet and fund their lives together; Paris has yet to make Juliet swoon, a large portion of making a lady fall for man!

    This has been an extremely large wedding! It is so very hard to prepare for, I hold Juliet's dress in the back when she walks down the aisle with her father. Luckily there are no boundaries as far as money so I can buy as much as I want to what I think Juliet would love! I was taking my time before preparing for their much anticipated wedding, when I got news that it was moved up! It has been making me crazy trying to run and get every little detail, down to Paris' cuff links in order! I hope the wedding runs smoothly because it was very hard to prepare for.

    Personally I believe that Paris is a better husband but I am certainly not going to share that with anyone else in the Capulet house because Juliet will not be happy with me and I’m sure my opinion will only influence Lord Capulet to make Juliet marry Paris more. I do think that Paris would make a great husband for Juliet he is a fine young man, and he is very wealthy so by Juliet marrying him she’s not only helping herself but she’s helping the family grow and become wealthier. So in a kind of way it’s a win, win situation for Lord Capulet but Juliet does not want to marry Paris. Being one of the maids I hear the gossip around the house and being one of the nurses good friend I’m up to date with everything that is going on. Just like Romeo and Juliet they both haven’t even gotten to know each other so who knows if she gave Paris a try maybe it would’ve ended up exactly like her and Romeos relationship, but its much too late for that now.

    The change in the date of the wedding has affected me a lot but not greatly I just have to be very quick with everything and get everything ready and set up for the date. Every person in the Capulet house is working very efficiently and hard to complete such a task just for the wedding so I sure do hope it does go well and no fights or what not happens because that would just ruin everything and I don’t think anyone would be happy about it personally.

    I am extremely close to Romeo. He is romantic, strong and caring towards Juliet. I think that Romeo would be a better husband then Paris because he truly loves and cares for her I do think Paris is a very young, handsome and polite man but he is also marrying her because of her money and also that Lord capulet wants them to be married. Romeo married Juliet because he loves her and would do anything to be with her. The date of the marriage for Juliet and Paris was changed because they have found her dead in her room. I was very surprised her hear this going around the town today. I was upset for Romeo but I also think that it can be better for him to be without her since a lot of drama has happened with her and its not good for Romeo

    It is a tough decision. Paris would make a good husband based on bringing in money in order to help out the family. However Romeo would be the better husband for Juliet's sake because they actually care for and love each other. The date change has affected me negatively because since i own a beer shop, they had asked me to cater the alcohol and since it was a very large wedding, i needed to have more alcohol shipped in. However i had expected it to arrive the day before wedding so now that is has bee moved up, i have no alcohol and no way to contact the delivery men to hurry up.

    Juliet is smart for changing her mind on marriage. She has been foolish for not agreeing with her father first, Paris is obvious a perfect groom for her. Although, I've heard Romeo was a great man also, he is hasty, and irrational killing a man for no reason. Tybalt's death was unnecessary. I think changing the date was the proper decision. I was awaiting medical, supplies and potions. My shipment was due that day also so I would need to get them another pay which would be a pain, but at the marriage I will attend the ceremony, sitting in the third row. I am the doctor dedicated to this event.

    Romeo is one of my dear friends. He and I have been very close for a long time, therefore I believe he would be the best husband for Juliet. Romeo is a kind, romantic, and loving man. Although he and Juliet are doomed to be together they would be happier together than Juliet and Paris would be. Romeo and Juliet truly love each other and got married on their own where as Paris and Juliet’s wedding would be by force. Overall Romeo is a better husband for Juliet because he makes her happy, he loves her and would treat her better than Paris would. Even though Romeo would be a much better husband, it looks like my friends Juliet is going to have to marry Paris. I recently got news that their wedding date has been moved up!! This however does not affect me that much. I am suppose to cook one dish for the wedding. This should be no problem for me at all because everyone knows I am an amazing cook and can cook any dish, any day.

  42. Fiorella Scarano (pd. 4)…. I believe Paris would be the better person for Juliet to marry. Romeo is on the Montague side which I don’t favor. Paris is rich, educated, and very handsome! I’m poor, a single maid, and uneducated. Paris is my dream man. Romeo is just sweet and is a very passionate lover unlike many other men living in Verona. The plans of the wedding being changed have made me so excited! I’m hoping a man will notice me at the party and maybe I’ll finally find a beau that is a mix of Paris and Romeo! My amount of chores has doubled, but I’m not complaining for this is one of the most important days in a woman’s life. Wouldn’t it be nice one day to be the bride rather than the unnoticed maid serving to all the other Ladies and Lords?

    I feel that Paris would make the much better husband. I think this because first of all he is a Capulet and he would be committed to the family. He also doesn't make such rash decisions, unlike romeo who decided to marry Juliet after seeing her once. I think that Paris also has more experience in dealing with adult matters, he also did not kill a person and wasn't banished. The date change has affected me in a rather helpful way, I was throwing another grand party in which my 15 mistresses were invited to by mistake. I was extremely worried and didn't know how I was going to last the night. Now I have an excuse to leave the party and go to a wedding, more importantly a wedding in which none of my mistresses were invited to.

    Personally I feel Romeo would make a better husband. My opinion is not just because I work for the Montagues, its because Juliet is in love with Romeo and I believe who ever makes you happy is the better choice. I had sat in the church and i had seen every minute of the wedding between Romeo and Juliet, the two of them are perfect for each other. Romeo had invited me to the wedding him self, we are very close friends. Even closer now since the death of romeos deer friend. This date change of the wedding for Juliet and Paris has effected me greatly because Romeo can not stop talking about it. If it doesn't get called off soon I might have to do something about it.

    In my opinion I think that Romeo would make a better husband because he is the one that Juliet likes better and if she were to marry Paris then she would not be happy because she doesn't like him. It also seems like Romeo cares more about juliet then Paris. So this is why I think Romeo would be a better choice for Juliet. The wedding being moved up is bad for me because I have a job to attend to and I made plans to go to the wedding for the original date so now I am going to have to call back my clients an reschedule.

    I believe if Juliet must marry one person, that it would be best to marry Romeo. Romeo loves her and would treat her like she's his everything. Juliet also loves him so they would be a perfect couple. Although, I do think Paris would be better for Juliet in terms of money and living a better life, but Romeo and Juliet are both in love so they would be better off together. The wedding of Paris and Juliet is better for me because it gives me more time to try and help Romeo with his situation and help him with ideas of how to make this all work out.

    I think Romeo would make a better husband because he cares more about her whereas Paris only cares about getting the Capulet's money. This date would not affect me because since I am neutral I have no plans and my bakery is slow so now I can make it to the wedding as I would normally do.

    i think romeo would be a better husband because he understands he feelings and he cares about her. He does things for her, this had led to violence when he fronts Paris he had kille him that had led to him to be banished from the authorites. This would not affect my character since he is a blacksmith he has no feelings for the people and he would not get in violnce with the people in the society.

    By knowing both men i would have to think only romeo is the best, paris has no bad things in him its just by knowing who she loves more and telling how she looks at her and how they feel for each other its only right that we let them get married. Paris on the other hand is a great guy and i know he will take care of juliet and help her and do whatever she needs but juliet doesn't love the man.

    the date change has only effected juliet and romeos times to plan out what to do and it has killed them both, maybe if they had a longer time to plan this out they would have made a smarter choice and allowing for them to know juliets just poisned for a little, rather then both dying
